Boys Reunion: Live Pet Sounds |
EARVOLUTION reports: Perhaps sensing a bit
of Beach Boys Mania in the air (or more likely in conjunction with album's
40th anniversary), Brian Wilson will be playing a series of six shows (5
in the U.S./1 in London) featuring performances of Pet Sounds in its entirety.
For the four East Coast shows, Wilson will be joined by former Beach Boy
Al Jardine, making these their first appearances together in decades. Mike
Love, the only other surviving original member of The Beach Boys, will
likely sit home and fume (or lie in bed listening to a certain Bare Naked
Ladies song).[see full story for dates]- Click

Joplin |
pr-inside reports: ELF actress ZOOEY DESCHANEL
has replaced singer PINK as JANIS JOPLIN in the biopic GOSPEL ACCORDING

The STUPID GIRLS singer pulled out of the

Deschanel was eventually selected to take over the role.
The script has gone through several revisions
and now focuses on former Rolling Stone writer DAVID DALTON, who was once
assigned to write a cover story comparing the troubled Joplin to JUDY GARLAND.[see
